4. Choose the correct options to complete the text Hi, guys!
I desperately need your help! Can you give me some advice about what to do on a date? All my attempts look like a failure!
I (try.. tried,.. had been trying,... had tried) to go on a date last February 14. That was terrible! And here's why.
First of all, my girlfriend Kelly was really late. By the time she came, I (waited,... was waiting,... had been waiting,..wait) for her for almost an hour! I brought her some flowers, and they (didn't look,... hadn't looked,... wasn't looking, not looked) good when she finally came.
Anyway, we met and headed to a cafe. I (chose,... chosed,... had chosen,... was choosing) the cafe in advance, and I was very proud of my choice. That was a wonderful cafe in the heart of the city. However, when we came to the cafe, we (saw..., had seen, was seeing,... seed) a huge line of people. Only then I remembered that I had forgotten to book a table!
So we had to choose another place. Kelly suggested going to a tiny restaurant nearby. The interior looked very nice, but the prices were so high that I (can,... caned,... could,... had could) hardly afford anything! I spent all my pocket money to buy some tea and a couple of desserts.
Finally, when we (walked, ... had walked, had been walking, were walking) home, Kelly asked me to tell her a joke. But when I did, she didn't like it at all! And she also said I didn't have any sense of humour!
Is it necessary to say that I was awfully upset?
How can I improve?
